If
you want to email a photo that you have in iPhoto, there are 2 ways
to go about that. The
first way is the easiest way if you have your email address set up in
Apple’s Mail program.
If you do, simply select the picture that you want to email and go to the
Share menu, then choose Email. The next window that you see is going to
ask you how large you want the picture to be. When you take a picture with
your digital camera, chances are that it’s going to be a large file
size. This is great for printing, but not so great for just viewing a picture
in an email. So, if you just want the person to view the picture in their
email, choose small, medium or large. If you want the person to be able
to print the picture then you want to send them the full size file. After
you make your selection, click Compose. iPhoto will then export your image,
open the Mail program and insert the photo in an email for you! The second
way to email a photo is for people who want to use an email other than
one in the Mail program, like just through a web browser. For this scenario,
select the photo that you want to email and go to the Share menu and then
choose Export. Next you will see a window where you can select the size
of your image. You’ll want to apply the same principles as the 1st
scenario and scale the image down if it’s just for viewing. Once
you have selected your size, click on Export. Next you will need to tell
the computer where to put the picture. generally, I like to put it on the
desktop so it’s easy to find. Once the picture has been exported,
go ahead and go to your email. Compose a new message and select Attach,
then find the photo on your desktop and select it. Your email will upload
it to the message and then you are ready to send it! Once you have sent
your email, it’s ok to trash the picture file that you put on the
desktop. This will not delete or alter your original photo at all. Happy
photo emailing!
